Can someone help improve the meaning of this Finnish death notice?

Nyt aika on levätä fun.

longingly
children and grandchildren,
Terttu and Elsa.
Dad, it was your turn to leave,
Now, it’s time to rest for fun.

You got it almost right.
Our father and granddad (there are several words that mean granddad: ukki, vaari, pappa, these are 3 most common)
Longingly
Children and grandchildren
Terttu and Elsa
Father, it was your turn to leave,
Now it is time to rest. (This "fun" it is not finnish and I have no idea why it is there and it clearly doesn't belong here, I am native Finnish)
Sten (some name perhaps?)
Blessing delivered in silence. (means that funeral service was held without public notification, just within close family)
Thank you for your condolences.

Do you have the original death notice? That "fun" and "Sten" they do not seem to belong there and I wonder where did you get them.

I typed fun - it was sun. Sten was a name of one of the sons.

Ok, now it makes sense. Sun is a short/poetic version from sinun and it means your(yours).
Nyt aika on levätä sun. = Now it is your time to rest.
